MY GROWTH MINDSET STATEMENTS I can CHANGE my MINDSET with my WORDS!

INSTEAD OF:  IN I am not good at this. I am great at this.

I CAN SAY: I am not good at this YET, but I will learn. I practiced and learned how to do this.

This is too hard.

This will require effort and finding the right strategy.

This is too easy.

How can I make this more challenging?

I am afraid I will make a mistake. I give up. I can't do this. This is good enough.

When I make a mistake, I will learn from it and get better. I will succeed if I put forth effort and find a better strategy. I need some feedback and help from others. Is it my best work? Can I improve it?

I won't try because I might fail.

If I fail I can try again until I succeed!

I am not as smart as my friend.

I am in charge of how smart I am because I can grow my brain by learning hard things! Big Life Journal - biglifejournal.com
